a couple of years ago, i was trying to get into the emergency preparedness club. (hm, that didn't quite come out like i wanted it to. but it's the best i could think of.) i made some homemade emergency candles. they were quick and easy. i took an empty tuna can, wound cardboard inside it, and then covered the cardboard with paraffin wax. when the power went out new years eve, i lit 2 of them in the kitchen so that we could see in the event we went in there.
i'm not sure i will make them again.
it takes 2 matches to get the flame to start.
they flicker something fierce and give me a headache.
they left soot all over the place.
when they get blown out, they smoke for a LONG time!
